Nottingham Forest and Wolves are preparing to compete for a player who is now on free transfer.
After avoiding relegation, the Reds plan to compete for a Premier League position similar to Wolves the following season.
Nuno Espirito Santo now intends to propel Forest to the upper levels of the divisions and escape a relegation battle.
Forest must ensure that their squad is balanced, and additional firepower would undoubtedly be beneficial.
Now, it has been revealed that the club is striving to sign a free player in the coming weeks as he seeks a new team.
Nottingham Forest and Wolves still fighting for Che Adams
The Reds want to add more firepower to their team, and Scotland international Adams is on their radar.
Forest must ensure they are well-stocked, with Chris Wood now 32 and Taiwo Awoniyi facing injury nightmares.
According to yesterday’s Sunday Mirror, both Forest and Wolves are attempting to entice Adams to sign for them.
After leaving Southampton at the end of last season, the 27-year-old is aiming to sign with another team soon.
Adams, a dynamic forward, scored 17 goals and provided six assists last season as the Saints defeated Leeds in the play-off final to return to the Premier League.
The athlete rejected a new deal, and he is currently looking for a new team.
Adams could be useful squad player for Forest
The player started all three games for Scotland at Euro 2024, where the Tartan Army finished with a whimper.
Ally McCoist is a major fan of the player, calling him ‘terrific’ after his qualifying performances for Scotland.
Adams may come across as an uninspiring signing to some fans, but he has the potential to help Forest.
At 27, he’s not past his prime, and he’s unlikely to cost Forest much in terms of salaries.
Adams can play in a variety of places in the final third, and it’s safe to argue he’d be a better offensive option than Divock Origi was last season.
The fact that Wolves want him may complicate matters, but maybe Forest will be able to use their persuasive abilities to get this one done.
